Model Kaia Gerber has shared an emotional letter mourning the death of her older brother Presley.

Kaia Gerber has publicly paid tribute to her older brother Presley for the first time since his death on 20 September. The model, 25, shared childhood video footage of herself and Presley alongside a handwritten letter in which she expressed the depths of her grief at his passing. 'Prez, I don't have the words,' she began in the letter. 'How naive of me to believe that language could transcend grief.'

In her four-page letter, Kaia reflected on never having known a world in which Presley didn't exist. 'You know how much I loved being your sister. It has always been, and will forever be, my favourite thing about myself,' she wrote. She continued: 'To say loving you was the easiest thing in the world would imply that it required any effort at all. I was born loving you. I will die loving you.'

Kaia described learning how to love her brother in his absence. 'I am, quite literally, down on my fucking knees,' she wrote. 'Despite knowing where it ends, I would choose it all over again. Every second. I would walk knowingly toward this grief if it meant that on the other side of it I got to be your sister.' The same day, Kaia joined her parents Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber in posting a statement on Crawford's Instagram.
